Outcry

A young woman’s passion for singing makes her a criminal in this powerful drama from Tehran’s underground scene.

Seti dreams of one day filling concert halls, but in Iran it is illegal for women to sing solo in public. When a street performance goes viral online, she becomes a symbol for her restless generation. Director Soheil Beiraghi’s bold film captures not only Seti’s story but also the hidden counterculture of Tehran. Concerts and drag shows take place in secret, and queer love thrives just beneath the surface. This is a film about artistic freedom of expression and underground movements resisting the regime.
